Trim trim

We chug along, each of us working through the list of tasks. As part of our project, we have both put in considerable amounts of time getting layers of old paint off of existing wood trim. Often there were four and five layers of paint and you had to know some of it had lead in it. We took a vote, and it was unanimous – we decided to have all the trim left to be done “dip-stripped.” :Last weekend Sami hauled the lot to “Timby’s” in North Portland, and today we picked up the cleaned-of-paint trim. We saved weeks of work, and enjoyed doing business with locals; Tim and Debby. Their shop is filled with interesting furniture projects, Tim’s collection of vintage tin cans (Which held at one time, everything from coffee to calves livers.), and one very friendly little black and white doggie.

There is a lot of trim in our house!
